      I think its personal preference. I use underhand narrow grip, and my arms are right at my side pulling into my stomach ..

Try one way and if you don't like the results alter your schedule, no one will no how you react to certain trining splits better than you.

      You need to do Compound movements, Close grip Bench Presses, Skull Crushers, Dips or Bench Dips etc. Those will really help put on some mass especially if you aren't used to doing them. Good Luck

      Squat, bench, deadlift. They are the big 3 and recruit the most overall musculature and will get you bigger and stronger than any other exercises. Always multi joint movements or variations of the big 3.

      Yes, make sure the dips are for tris & not chest; look for vids on the differences. Skull crushers; don't confuse them with a pullover (ez curl bar). Warm up the tris any sudden sharp pain in inner elbow; back off / ease up. Once you get that, it; takes a long time to go away.

      Without a doubt, the compound movements mentioned initially are important. I would say, a good second place is any lift that you suck at. If you're good on squats but suck at front squats, try incorporating those into your training.
